Pork katsu and tonkatsu sauce (Japanese breaded pork and dipping sauce) Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by á-39535

Number Of Ingredients 13

Pork:
◾4 (1/2-inch thick) boneless pork chops
◾2 tablespoons all-purpose or rice flour
◾1 egg, beaten
◾1/2 cup panko (Japanese style bread crumbs)
◾Vegetable oil
Tonkatsu sauce:
1/4 C ketchup
1/3 C soy sauce
1/4 C Worcestershire sauce
1 T hoisin sauce or tangy bbq sauce
garlic powder to taste
black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare sauce by whisking together all ingredients and refrigerating. Between two sheets of waxed paper beat pork cutlets as thin as possible with a meat mallet. Season cutlets with salt and pepper. Beat the egg in a low bowl. Coat the cutlets first in the flour, then the egg, and finally the panko crumbs. Over medium high heat pan fry pork for approx. 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and no longer pink inside. Serve warm with tonkatsu sauce for dipping.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect tonkatsu, start with high-quality pork loin. Look for a piece that is at least 1 inch thick and has a good amount of marbling.
  • Pound the pork loin to an even thickness. This will help it to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs for the best results. Panko breadcrumbs are lighter and crispier than regular breadcrumbs.
  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the tonkatsu. The oil should be at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the tonkatsu. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the tonkatsu will not cook evenly.
  • Drain the tonkatsu on paper towels after frying to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the tonkatsu immediately with tonkatsu sauce and your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Tonkatsu is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you serve it with rice, noodles, or vegetables, tonkatsu is sure to be a hit. Experiment with different sauces and side dishes to find your favorite way to enjoy this classic Japanese dish.
